This is also how BLM protests went wild. Police used too much brutality, which only made the situation worse. The protest that was peaceful at first turned some places into a place of anarchy. Police stopped intervening on protestors, so people had to hire guards, and board up their businesses. People who opposed the idea got their property attacked, and people were forced to join and contribute to the protests.
The dominoes were a metaphor. They symbolically represented the depth and breadth of V's plans and machinations, and how they were about to all come to fruition.

The last domino is him. He has set everything up and makes the initial push. The tragedy is that he does not fit into the new world he created, so he has to remove the domino that doesn't fit, him. That's why he hangs his head when it doesn't fall, not because he thinks he messed up, but because he knows he will not have a place.
no... He thought he was the key to it all, until that moment. looking at that last domino, he realized it's not the one that starts the dominoes that is important, it's the dominoes themselves. It was domino that stood in the way of the pattern completing, it must be a domino that starts it. He was not the last domino standing, that's Evey. She must start it, or not. It's not about him, it's never been about him.
The Dominos falling represents every event V planned or saw coming The only thing he couldn't see coming was meeting Evey, that's why one domino was still standing
Evey and all of us. The whole point of liberty is not knowing what the person next to you is going to do. We all come around in good faith and honor and... have a chat or something. Be good people around each other. Maybe the public will raise or maybe they won't. There were no doubters. Everyone rose with you V. Evey. The dead. Everyone.
No matter how much you plan your plan and the events. Fate always comes in and gives you one thing you never expected. For someone like v. You would have thought he expect this of fate
Very nice! Also, could mean that it all comes down to one domino. The whole thing would still come down but not totally if that one domino doesn’t fall. As V has already taken (or planned to) the rest of the the party down and has left the final step and decision to Evey. The one domino.
Pretty hilarious comment. Though I wonder if the last domino has any symbolic meaning. I say this since he picks it up and examines it as though unsure on how to deal with the last piece of the puzzle. You could say that the domino is the inspector. One side was red and the other was black. At the end of the movie he had the decision to either stop the plan when the girl was on the train or allow the train of explosives to go through.
The last domino piece, which V did not expect or plan for, is Evee. This is why he gives her the final choice to send the train filled with explosives to destroy parliament, the culmination of his life's work. It's why the last domino piece is on the train with him when she decides to pull the lever. Evee (EV) is the missing emotional side of V, which he admits to in his last moments with her when he says he had been driven and fuelled by rage his entire life.

I was a solider in the U.S. ARMY. I can tell you, no man hates war more than the ones who have to fight it. At the same time, there is a difference between peace and complacency. Peace at any cost is no peace at all.

Something they don’t get into in the movie (but elude to) V is “enhanced”. Incredible speed and fine control of thought and body. He is obsessed, and driven, and careful, but he is also unnaturally strong and fast
The way Finch is written is brilliant, V knows that he's the only man who can stop him, but that despite everything he's doing what he believes is right, and all V has to do is make sure he knows the truth

The first time I watched it I realized what a template it was for situations we've faced and are facing and will face. Corruption has only so many plays in it's book. This movie is relevant everyday
In my efforts to become a better writer, I've been studying up on literary symbols. Seeing this scene now, it takes on a whole new meaning. The inspector is talking about how things are being set up according to plan, and the plan includes things to go "wrong," or as he puts it, "someone will do something stupid." And we see events unfolding just like how V wanted them to: less of a structured measure and more one catastrophe naturally and organically begets the next. And the dominos represent this idea perfectly. The best symbols are those we don't immediately realize reinforce the scene, usually at a subconscious level when we first see it, thus making it's impact both more subtle and more powerful. Stuff like this really shows how much more thought and purpose goes into every detail and scene than the casual movie viewer realizes.
To add to this, I like to think that the last domino standing represents that, in order for the plan to be completed, V needs to do one last thing, AKA die with his vengeance. As he said, he is a part of the world he wants to destroy, so to erase every element of it, he also needs to go.
I beg to disagree, the best scene for me personally is "would you really want to know?" because it forces the viewer to confront their own inherent weaknesses as a human being, turning a blind eye to injustice, making excuses for abhorrent behaviour, the desire to protect ones own self and/or family at the expense of others. "would you really want to know?" because would you actually have the strength to fight against it instead of cowering in the protection of your sofa with your family while the abuses play out disconnectedly on a TV screen that allow you to mentally absolve yourself of any culpability or responsibility...... "would you really want to know?"
Yeah. Myself and my family is quite more important than some individual on the street screeching about his view point of "injustice". Especially when his screeching leads to violence against other innocent people who had nothing to do with the injustice and are trying to get along in the same community as everyone else... Its even more important when those same people then JUSTIFY their violence as righteous, despite the fact that none of it was righteous and innocent people, and their property, were harmed. If you're that pathetic to where your actions hurt others, and you no longer care for their hurt, even more so desire to see them hurt because of injustice caused by government, you're doing exactly what the government wants, and you're being useful pawns to encourage more laws, more dictatorship, and more injustice. And then call people who go after said government, simply because of a difference of opinion, seditionists when they know the government is to blame for the injustice, the hurt, the pain, the inequity and inequality, the poverty, the lack of solutions and the development of problems, the endless wars and suffering. Make truth relative, and at this point, your truth is as irrelevant to me, as my truth is to you. So why should I care when your opinion sees me the problem for not including myself, when that same problem also says that because of who I am, what I believe, and what I'm born as, inherently makes me the problem to society? I'll stay home, go to work, and pay my government mandated theft of personal income, increase my personal arsenal, buy up ammo, food and water, and await the coming collapse. Because you fools surrendered our Constitutional Republic, and Dangerous Freedom, for the sake of soft, benevolent tyranny. And thus, none of you deserve either freedom, or safety.
@@JohnDoe-wt9ek Have you seen the movie? If you had you would know the context in which the question "would you really want to know?" is asked. Hint: It's not about "some individual on the street screeching about his view point of 'injustice . . . '" What individual are you talking about? "Some individual on the street screeching about his view point...." -- sounds like freedom of speech to me. And whose "screeching" has led to "violence against innocent people?" To whom are you referring? I can think of someone whose screeching has led to violence, but something tells me you probably look up to said individual so I won't get into that. I hope you never have to "screech" in the street for justice for yourself or your family. If you do, hopefully your audience will be more merciful than you are.
The huge emotional impact is when the movie producers decided to use real footage from riots and put them in the movie. That just hits on a whole different level.
Raimo Höft dream on friend. I’d wish for you to experience life in actual autocratic state before you start your bullshit that “this is the EU now”. Get some perspective.
I find it funny that Finch did some LSD at Larkhill in the graphic novel. But, ending that line with “…but I was tripping ballz on acid at the time.” probably would’ve taken something away from the scene’s power.

This story is way more than 9 years old, it is taken from an adult comic series. Astoundingly, this maybe one of the best translations from written/drawn to movie screen. All the elements were held true and conveyed from the series to the screen.
@@galacticaone9537 I agree it was a good film but there are notable changes. If the chancellor died in the comic, then it was under very different circumstances than in the film. Instead, V's last fight is with the detective and V doesn't kill him but allow himself to be mortally wounded. Evey's hide out was different in the film, too. In the comic, she was more on her own; her relationship to her host was less friendly and more estranging. Her leave from there was also different. Further, in the film Evey leaves V after her transformation while in the comic she stays and prepares herself both physically and mentally with V as her teacher. This ties neatly into the fact that in the film the concept of V ends with V's death, while in the comic Evey takes up the mask to continue his revolutionary work. The film presents the end as closed: now that the revolution has become public it has succeeded, as if all was achieved now that the people have taken to the street and united under an important symbol of change (the destruction of the parliament building). This feels unfulfilling, given that all the work of restructuring their country and starting to rule themselves lies still ahead of those people.
They meet at the end of the movie and send V off on his train together. This probably implies they started up a relationship afterwards, perhaps even getting married.
@@corridosnomamadas9286 the current UK government is using fear and hate as a means to staying in power, telling lies to fuel the fire they use to distract their nationalist voters. Fear and hate of foreigners and anything to do with the EU, all whilst bending the rules to benefit the rich, and make the poor even poorer. Those of us who know the evil of much of our national press knew exactly what was to come, we all stood up against it, but to no avail. The general public in the UK, in England at the very least have fallen hook line and sinker for the lies, and the hate. They value self reliance above international cooperation, they see corruption where they're told there's corruption and yet are blind to the corruption of those who doing the finger pointing. It's pure nationalism and populism, and it's heading down the path of fascism. The UK government front bench should all hang for what they've done and what they're trying to do. They're responsible for the deaths of thousands, if not millions.
What people often miss about this movie is the fact it is not about revolution or good guy beats bad guy and so on. It is about control trough engineered panic created via several engineered panic starting events (the bio terror attacks) then boosted by media campaigns and in the end people surrendering their freedom for security. That is the real ‘plot’. And has always been and always overlooked. Same as the Armin Zola monologue in Winter Soldier. Probably a bit more interesting in the times we live in.
@@turkyish Oh, not so much. They were doing drills in groups to figure out how to use a mass pandemic as a way to most effectively steal as much money, freedom, and control from the common man as possible for at least the last twenty years. It's not something that "just happened" in 2020, it was actively set up and planned for.
Oh shit, I only just realised. V picks up he one last red piece that doesnt fall in to place, next scene goes from a focus on a clock with red numbers to the man who would later allow and send the explosives to the tower of London whilst a song of the train plays, he's the last piece that falls in to place allowing everything to come to fruition. I've seen this movie many times and still notice some new symbolism I missed before almost every time.
It's relevant in the fact that the movie is about a manufactured global pandemic that allows a tyrannical dictator to take control of a country by using fear mongering propaganda spewed by the media (talks only about safety and not about freedom) and is set in 2020.
Anybody notice that our society has a lot in common with this movie now? If you haven't seen this movie yet, I can recommend. It's gives a nice perspective on these times.
I was just gonna ask that. I’ve not seen it yet but had heard it has some relevance to today’s shenanigans. Worth a watch, yeah? Any other prophetic movie suggestions? I was thinking maybe I Am Legend. Or even The Siege. Saw Contagion last year when it all kicked off.
We now have a President, a bigot himself, from a party that created the KKK trying to destroy this country by submission into wearing masks and censor anyone that does not agree with them. It's gotten pretty close to that. What amazed me is how many people would bootclick salute him in total delirious devotion despite the rising food, gas, and lumber prices.

Still gives me goosebumps so many years later. Absolutely the best scene of the movie.
I was afraid this would just be Sutter yelling at his men, saying this government's survival is not based on your feelings. But Finch's feelings do determine the future.
When that Fingerman shot that little girl... I lost it. Bawling my eyes out, but with rage... He got what he deserved... as did Creedy and Suttler, eventually. Then, when they do the " curtain call" at the end and resurrect everyone... more tears... but ones of understanding, that they had their roles to play, for the revolution to come about. Every Revolution needs a Martyr or 2. They become a catalyst. Epic movie. I watch it Every year on November 5th.

The problem in a nutshell is this: we the people are supposed to be participating in our own government, but we are not.
We should do anal with our government
Hans Anderson 100% Agreed.
The shot of the irate populace attacking the finger is brilliant. In that moment, the people had been pushed to the point that his badge meant nothing and the threat of death was an acceptable risk to punish him.
That clip should terrify modern governments. The very instant the people reject their supposed power and authority, the people realize those in power are just bullies who are vastly outnumbered.
I thought that was a "finger man" that was attacked.

@@jn1mrgn The government, specifically the GOP, are using the law to take your freedoms away. Has little, if anything, to do with the pandemic.

Now it is just riots for people to loot, steal, and kill people and get away with it because they all hiding behind a mask. A mob is possibly the stupidest thing in existence.

In my efforts to become a better writer, I've been studying up on literary symbols. Seeing this scene now, it takes on a whole new meaning. The inspector is talking about how things are being set up according to plan, and the plan includes things to go "wrong," or as he puts it, "someone will do something stupid." And we see events unfolding just like how V wanted them to: less of a structured measure and more one catastrophe naturally and organically begets the next. And the dominos represent this idea perfectly.
The best symbols are those we don't immediately realize reinforce the scene, usually at a subconscious level when we first see it, thus making it's impact both more subtle and more powerful. Stuff like this really shows how much more thought and purpose goes into every detail and scene than the casual movie viewer realizes.
My big surprise with angry Vets and sniper abilities haven't done something to scare the gvts
Du hörst dich gern reden.
To add to this, I like to think that the last domino standing represents that, in order for the plan to be completed, V needs to do one last thing, AKA die with his vengeance. As he said, he is a part of the world he wants to destroy, so to erase every element of it, he also needs to go.
I beg to disagree, the best scene for me personally is "would you really want to know?" because it forces the viewer to confront their own inherent weaknesses as a human being, turning a blind eye to injustice, making excuses for abhorrent behaviour, the desire to protect ones own self and/or family at the expense of others.
"would you really want to know?" because would you actually have the strength to fight against it instead of cowering in the protection of your sofa with your family while the abuses play out disconnectedly on a TV screen that allow you to mentally absolve yourself of any culpability or responsibility......
"would you really want to know?"
Yeah. Myself and my family is quite more important than some individual on the street screeching about his view point of "injustice". Especially when his screeching leads to violence against other innocent people who had nothing to do with the injustice and are trying to get along in the same community as everyone else...
Its even more important when those same people then JUSTIFY their violence as righteous, despite the fact that none of it was righteous and innocent people, and their property, were harmed.
If you're that pathetic to where your actions hurt others, and you no longer care for their hurt, even more so desire to see them hurt because of injustice caused by government, you're doing exactly what the government wants, and you're being useful pawns to encourage more laws, more dictatorship, and more injustice.
And then call people who go after said government, simply because of a difference of opinion, seditionists when they know the government is to blame for the injustice, the hurt, the pain, the inequity and inequality, the poverty, the lack of solutions and the development of problems, the endless wars and suffering.
Make truth relative, and at this point, your truth is as irrelevant to me, as my truth is to you. So why should I care when your opinion sees me the problem for not including myself, when that same problem also says that because of who I am, what I believe, and what I'm born as, inherently makes me the problem to society?
I'll stay home, go to work, and pay my government mandated theft of personal income, increase my personal arsenal, buy up ammo, food and water, and await the coming collapse.
Because you fools surrendered our Constitutional Republic, and Dangerous Freedom, for the sake of soft, benevolent tyranny. And thus, none of you deserve either freedom, or safety.
@@JohnDoe-wt9ek Oh, sorry...did you whine about something?

@@JohnDoe-wt9ek Ah... You really didn't need to type out so many paragraphs my dude. Just say you're selfish, that would encompass all of it.
@@JohnDoe-wt9ek Have you seen the movie? If you had you would know the context in which the question "would you really want to know?" is asked. Hint: It's not about "some individual on the street screeching about his view point of 'injustice . . . '" What individual are you talking about? "Some individual on the street screeching about his view point...." -- sounds like freedom of speech to me. And whose "screeching" has led to "violence against innocent people?" To whom are you referring? I can think of someone whose screeching has led to violence, but something tells me you probably look up to said individual so I won't get into that.
I hope you never have to "screech" in the street for justice for yourself or your family. If you do, hopefully your audience will be more merciful than you are.

This story is way more than 9 years old, it is taken from an adult comic series. Astoundingly, this maybe one of the best translations from written/drawn to movie screen. All the elements were held true and conveyed from the series to the screen.
@@galacticaone9537 I agree it was a good film but there are notable changes.
If the chancellor died in the comic, then it was under very different circumstances than in the film.
Instead, V's last fight is with the detective and V doesn't kill him but allow himself to be mortally wounded.
Evey's hide out was different in the film, too. In the comic, she was more on her own; her relationship to her host was less friendly and more estranging.
Her leave from there was also different.
Further, in the film Evey leaves V after her transformation while in the comic she stays and prepares herself both physically and mentally with V as her teacher.
This ties neatly into the fact that in the film the concept of V ends with V's death, while in the comic Evey takes up the mask to continue his revolutionary work.
The film presents the end as closed: now that the revolution has become public it has succeeded, as if all was achieved now that the people have taken to the street and united under an important symbol of change (the destruction of the parliament building).
This feels unfulfilling, given that all the work of restructuring their country and starting to rule themselves lies still ahead of those people.
I doubt it.
CZcams probably has picked up on your interest in this film in the past and thus recommended you this video.

That is the real ‘plot’. And has always been and always overlooked. Same as the Armin Zola monologue in Winter Soldier. Probably a bit more interesting in the times we live in.
